Salming Speed 5 men’s 10.5 running shoes Ceramic Green/Black

There is a lot to like about the Salming Speed 5. It has all the characteristics of a heavy duty daily trainer stripped down to the weight of a speed day shoe. If your budget is limited to one shoe for all your workouts, you should be looking at the Salming Speed 5. The upper of the Speed 5 is one of the funkier ones out there. You get shiny overlays, stripes on the collar and heel counter, screen door style mesh on the sides, lots of text printed anywhere and everywhere, you even get the Swedish flag. The shoe stands out. Most of my miles in the Speed 5 were done in cold temps, but I would guess the super breathable upper would work well in the heat. The fit of the Speed 5 worked well for my foot except for one complaint I will mention the bad section of the review. The midsole, is a treat. Firm and flexible, it has enough cushion for heavy mileage. The 6mm drop midsole paired with just the right amount of sticky rubber on the outsole gives the Speed 5 comfort and performance. The Speed is also deceivingly light, 8.8 oz. for a size 10.5. Small tear in toe of one shoe, see photo
